I’m writing a HP fanfic, and I’m forming the MC’s paternal family which Russian.
Grandfather: [name]Pavel[/name] Belyakov
*after his first wife’s death, he mourned for at least 6 years before remarrying. He had four children in total, two from each of his wives. He would’ve had more, but refused to have more children with his second wife than his first, as he felt that was being disrespectful to her memory.
Whatever sense of honor, and humor, his children and grandchildren have were both inherited from him.
[b]Biological Grandmother /b: [name]Anna[/name] [name]Yekaterina[/name] Belyakova
*UK-born Russian, her parents immigrated to the UK prior to her birth and moved back to [name]Russia[/name] when she was in her teens. She often spoke of her time in [name]England[/name] to her children and told them stories. Rather than a patronymic, she has a Russian middle name instead.
After her death, her son [name]Sergei[/name] moved to the UK to honor his mother and her adventures there. This is where he meets his future wife/MC’s mother.
She only had two children. [name]Sergei[/name] has her grey eyes, as does the MC; his daughter.
Step-Grandmother: Needs a name; ideas are: [name]Vera[/name], [name]Nadezhda[/name], [name]Nadya[/name], [name]Eva[/name], [name]Oksana[/name], [name]Varvara[/name]
*She’s a kind and loving woman. Never mistreated her step-children, and respected their mother’s memory. She enjoys singing to her grandchildren.
Wife [name]One[/name]'s DS, Older Uncle: Needs a first name.
*He’s rather stoic and the most serious out of all of his siblings (who are all bright, humorous people), due being hardened by his mother’s death. He has two children.
Wife [name]One[/name]'s DS, MC’s Father: [name]Sergei[/name] Pavlovich Belyakov [His Naming Topic here]
*Four years between him and his older brother, and about nine between him and his younger half sister. He has three children.
Wife Two’s DD, Aunt: I’m thinking of [name]Svetlana[/name] Pavlovna Belyakova for her.
*About nine years younger than [name]Sergei[/name]. She has two children. She’s not very maternal, but has positive relationships with her children. She’s a bit unconventional in parenting, and rather trendy. Owns a boutique.
Wife Two’s DS, Younger Uncle: [name]Ivan[/name] Pavlovich Belyakov
*Typical young uncle type. A bit rebellious, but adores his nieces and nephews. Is very close to [name]Sergei[/name], affectionately rags on and teases [name]Svetlana[/name] a lot. [name]Sergei[/name]'s youngest daughter, [name]Ivanna[/name], is named after him due to her close physical resemblance. No children.
The personality profiles are pretty rough at the moment.
I was thinking of an I name for the eldest brother, since [name]Sergei[/name] and [name]Svetlana[/name] share initials. I don’t like [name]Igor[/name] since there’s already a prominent character named [name]Igor[/name] in the HP series. It doesn’t have to be an I name though.
Any ideas, suggestions, input would be great.
